Red Rebels

No one spoke in the locker room. At first, there were staff who came in to provide care and help the players recover. But after these staff members left, the locker room became quiet, and a pin dropped!

Fatigue, that's for sure. After all, the Red Rebels' tactics are mainly based on running without the ball. The players run a lot of distance on the court, and more running will inevitably make the players more likely to fatigue, and the Red Rebels players His physical fitness has always been maintained very well. I believe that as long as the half-time break is passed, he will become energetic again after the start of the second half.

But the players' fatigue comes more from psychology!

An unwarranted goal was conceded. At the same time, a goal was disallowed and a penalty kick was disallowed. Such huge differences in law enforcement standards gave the players a feeling of being powerless to fight. They even wanted to believe that this was Someone wants to kill and prevent the Red Rebels from defending their title. This is a conspiracy!

Maybe just by thinking this way, they will make themselves feel more feminine.

Mourinho leaned against the door of the locker room and did not speak. He was thinking about something. He wanted to figure out how to kill Barcelona!

Yes, even now, he is still unwilling to admit his failure. He is still thinking about how to turn defeat into victory!

Use the most fair and just means, use unquestionable means, and leave everyone speechless!

Soon, he figured it out!

"How's it going? Are you discouraged?" Mourinho looked around at the 11 players in the locker room and asked in a deep voice.

The players were stunned for a moment, but soon they all reacted.

"No, boss, we will not be discouraged!" Terry was the first to express his stance.

"Yes, although we are lagging behind and at a disadvantage, we will not be discouraged. We still have hope!" Kaka also said.

Then Drogba, Essien, Cesc Fabregas, Messi and others expressed their opinions one after another. They all said that they would not be discouraged and rushed to be the first. This immediately changed the atmosphere in the locker room. Get hot.

Mourinho is worthy of being a master of mobilizing players' emotions. He nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "You are a woman. Only then are you worthy of wearing this jersey and appearing here. We Red Rebels have never been able to do that." Don’t be discouraged, no matter how strong our opponents are, we are confident enough to take them down and crush them under our feet!”

The players nodded in agreement with Mourinho's words.

"We did not lose in the first half. Although Barcelona took a goal lead, I never admitted that it was a goal conceded. It was a gift from God to Barcelona and a test for us. We must prove that we can beat Opponent, we deserve to create a miracle!”

"We played well in the first half, but we were not strong enough. Otherwise, we could have broken Barcelona's goal. I believe that Barcelona will play more conservatively in the second half. After all, they are ahead and they will definitely counterattack defensively." We need to be more thorough, but we can’t be in a hurry, because once we are impatient, we will make mistakes!”

"The tactic that our Red Rebels are most proud of is control and oppression. In the second half, we must continue to maintain control and pressure on Barcelona, ​​forcing them to switch to defensive counterattacks. We must completely control the game, and then we will work step by step, slowly. Go forward, the frontcourt players should drop back more to get the ball and completely suppress Barcelona’s midfield!”

"Remember," Mourinho emphasized, "What I want is complete suppression, complete! The most thorough kind!"

The players felt the pressure from the head coach and nodded involuntarily. At the same time, it seemed as if Mourinho had ignited a rage deep in their hearts, which quickly burned throughout their bodies.

"We didn't have many set-piece opportunities in the first half, but in the second half we have to break through more and strive for more set-pieces in the frontcourt. This is our opportunity. Women must seize it. Once they reach the front edge of Barcelona's penalty area, make bold moves , shoot boldly."

"Barcelona's defensive strength is mainly concentrated in the midfield. We have to lengthen their defense in the second half. We have to continue to work from the two wings. Cristiano and Leo, you have to break through more on the wings and make more breakthroughs on the wings. With the ball on the road, I want to make Barcelona’s defense as long as possible, so long that even they themselves can’t believe it!”

In the Red Rebels, who generally have outstanding personal abilities, once they find a one-on-one opportunity, these players in the frontcourt are almost never afraid of any opponent, let alone attackers like Ronaldinho, Messi, and Kaká. Even Drogba, Evra and Maicon are fully capable of defeating their opponents one-on-one.

From this point of view, Mourinho wants to create one-on-one opportunities as much as possible, and then completely disintegrate Barcelona's defense.

"Maybe you are all disappointed with the result of the first half, maybe you feel that we should have been ahead for a million reasons in the first half, maybe you feel that Barcelona has been taken care of in some way, but I have to tell you, these It’s all wrong!”

"Who hasn't benefited from a referee's misjudgment on the court? Haven't you? Haven't you? We have too! We won those games and won, but in this game, when the referee made a misjudgment, we were When we suffer losses, do we lose the ability to win?"

"Could it be said that everything we have won before, all the victories, are all gifts from the referee? From misjudgments? From the opponent's show of weakness? Tell me, is that so?" Mourinho's voice It became thunderous and rumbled through the locker room.

"No!" Terry was the first to express his stance, blushing, and then the players expressed their stance one after another.

"No! No! Fucking no!"

Mourinho nodded, "I trust you, but others won't believe it. They will think, ah, the Red Rebels are just a weakling. All previous victories, all championships, and all pride were taken care of by the referee." What they get, once they don't have the care of the referee, they are weak shrimps, they will humiliate you, humiliate me, humiliate our fans, humiliate our Red Rebels, this is me, Jose Mourinho absolutely This is absolutely not allowed, I can’t fucking allow others to humiliate the Red Rebels, do you allow it?”

"Not allowed!" the players responded in unison.

"Then prove yourself on the court, beat Barcelona, ​​and tell everyone that even without the referee's care, even if we are in a disadvantageous situation, even if we are behind, we can still beat our opponents, because we are the invincible Reds. Rebels!"

The players agreed in unison, stretched out their hands one by one, put their hands together, shouted "Red Rebels, come on!" and then dispersed.

…………After the start of the second half, neither team made the slightest adjustment. Although Rijkaard’s team took the lead at the end of the first half, they were overwhelmed by the Red Rebels after the start of the second half. Unable to fight back.

Motta, Iniesta, and Edmilson, if you look at their positions on the field, they shouldn't even be called midfielders, but center backs, and Eto'o and Hleb frequently play on the wing. The drama of the defender coming to the rescue.

From the beginning of the second half, the Red Rebels launched a wave of fierce offensives against Barcelona. The Spanish giants completely lost face in this game. They lost the ball control and offense that they were proud of. The tradition of football is to play passive defensive counterattacks during the game, and even counterattacks are not possible.

The whole court was suppressed, and all Barcelona could do was to keep grabbing the ball, and then being robbed, and then trying to rob it again.

It should be said that Mourinho made the right bet. The characteristics of Barcelona's players determine that they will never become a team like Manchester United, Chelsea or Liverpool. It is impossible for them to build defenses at all levels and fight against the Red Rebels. Bloody hand-to-hand combat and physical confrontation.

Not to mention that the Red Rebels have super strong men like Drogba, Essien, Terry, and Vidic. Even Cesc Fabregas, Messi and others have been in the Premier League for a long time. The struggle for rhythm has long been accustomed to it, and it can even be said that it is a pleasure.

On the other hand, Barcelona, ​​when the whole game was suppressed by the Red Rebels, and the rhythm of the game exceeded their control, they completely fell into passivity and they kept making mistakes.

For Barcelona, ​​which advocates possession of the ball, once they lose possession of the ball, they have to do everything possible to steal the ball, and this is often when they make mistakes.

"If the first half was a gentleman's duel, then the second half was a gladiator's competition. Barcelona was completely fooled by the Red Rebels. They had no ability to control their own destiny. Although Hauge's law enforcement was biased, he It was impossible to ignore some obvious fouls, but it was the strategic advantage gained by the Red Rebels, so we heard the whistles one after another!"

"Fouls, constant fouls, Barcelona was bombarded in half by the Red Rebels. When they couldn't grab the ball, they could only rely on constant fouls to stop the Red Rebels. This gave the Red Rebels a lot of Opportunities for set pieces in the frontcourt.”

When Mourinho saw the team gaining an advantage on the sidelines and fully suppressing Barcelona, ​​he began to consider adjustments, so he made the first adjustment of the game, replacing Maicon with teenager Michael Johnson. Evra retreated into the penalty area to play three central defenders, pushing Ronaldinho and Messi to the front, turning into a desperate 343 midfield diamond tactic!

Cesc Fabregas and Michael Johnson, one strong and one soft, one short and one long, occupy the central midfield position and firmly maintain the pressure on Barcelona. Moreover, Michael Johnson also has an amazing set-piece skill. After coming on the field, the set-piece threat of the Red Rebels was greatly improved.

After missing two indirect set-piece opportunities, the Red Rebels were not discouraged and still maintained their suppression of Barcelona. Messi and Ronaldinho made fuss on two wings respectively, completely stretching Barcelona's defense and dividing the defense. Thin defensive power in the middle while creating one-on-one confrontation opportunities on the wing.

Rijkaard felt a headache about this and wanted to make adjustments, so he replaced Hleb and replaced him with Belletti. Oleg returned to the penalty area and started a 532 tactic, and then quickly Xavi was used to replace Iniesta, who was not as physically fit.

The Red Rebels bombed indiscriminately, and Barcelona struggled to support it. It lasted until the 73rd minute of the second half. At this time, the Red Rebels' offensive had reached the critical point. Kaka made a high-speed breakthrough in the middle, but was blocked. Xavi tripped and converted a free-kick for the Red Rebels.

This time the free kick was taken in a female position, about 35 meters away from the goal, and the angle was also very suitable. The Red Rebels have many free kick masters in the team, and they can fully afford this penalty kick.

As the first free kick penalty taker appointed by Mourinho, Michael Johnson was prioritized by Mourinho before he came on the field. He is the first free kick penalty taker on the court, so when Hauge whistled the free kick When the time came, he picked up the ball, placed it on the free kick penalty spot, took a few steps back, and waited for the opponent's wall and the referee's whistle.

But just when Valdes was organizing Barcelona to form a human wall, just when everyone in the Red Rebels was giving encouragement to Michael Johnson, Ronaldinho suddenly spoke.

"This time, let me do it!" Xiao Luo said extremely firmly, his eyes full of persistence.

Michael Johnson was a little surprised and didn't know how to respond.

At this time, Mourinho on the sidelines also saw that something was wrong with Ronaldinho, especially when he saw Michael Johnson looking at him for help, he wanted to ask him to reject Ronaldinho.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Red Rebels have conducted an internal investigation. From this angle and position, Michael Johnson’s success rate for direct free kicks is almost half. He is the most confident player in the Red Rebels, and as long as If this goal is scored, the Red Rebels will get back the score, and the possibility of a reversal is very, very high.

But what about Xiao Luo? His free kick skills are not as good as Michael Johnson's, and his mood seems a little impatient. If he takes the kick, there is no guarantee that he will not miss this great opportunity.

But just when Mourinho was about to refuse, he saw Terry, Kaka and others walking forward. They both pulled Michael Johnson and whispered in the England teenager's ear. Keep nodding.

"They have already made a decision, Jose. Sometimes, we have to follow the players' ideas. They work hard on the court and cherish this opportunity more than us!" Cassel suddenly came to Mourinho's side. beside.

The Portuguese madman smiled. He knew his disciples better than anyone else.

"Thank you!" Ronaldinho hugged Michael Johnson gratefully.

"Come on, Cristiano, you can do it!" Michael Johnson encouraged him with a smile.

"Yes, Cristiano, don't worry, you can do it!" Kaka also hugged him.

Immediately afterwards, Terry, Messi and other players on the field also hugged Ronaldinho and encouraged him. Even the Red Rebels substitute players came to the sidelines one after another. They all used this method to support Ronaldinho. .

The Red Rebel fans in the stands also guessed what the players were thinking, and sang "Cristiano's Song" in unison, using their singing to encourage Ronaldinho, hoping that he could overcome the adversity and score an equalizer for the Red Rebels. ball.

Ronaldinho slowly came to the penalty spot, picked up the ball, wiped it, put it back in place, checked the turf around the ball, took a few steps back, stood up straight with his feet apart, and made fists with both hands. On both sides, the woman looks like a god of war, very attractive.

When Hauge blew the whistle, Ronaldinho, who had been preparing for a long time, sprinted out like a bolt of lightning!
